A new reason to love Diana DeGette
I'm a couple weeks late on this story. I just ran across it in the Virginia Progressive.
Every year, the American Conservative Union puts out their ratings of national legislators. Three of the four Colorado Republican representatives - Both Ways Bob, the Pink Lady and Mad Tom - received "perfect" scores. Only one of our Democratic representatives received the coveted donut. Diana DeGette.
Can I propose a new nickname? How about Diana "The Definitive Democrat" Degette?

Apparently the folks over at the ACU didn't notice that John Salazar has replaced his predecessor in the 3rd CD, producing a much different ACU rating.
It's interesting that despite DeGette's ranking as the most progressive/liberal House member, she is still unwilling to stand up for marijuana law reform. And this is after her district became the first major city to vote (54-46) to make private adult marijauna use and possession legal for adults.
Doesn't it seem odd that she has no problem with the bulk of her constituency being considered criminals? I bet that if every constituent in her district who used, uses or has friends/family who use(d) marijuana did NOT vote for her, she would be replaced with someone a little more in tune with their constituency.
Come try out SimBeauprez, you feel like you're actually at one of Bob's speeches.
